World's Largest Tumor Ever Removed
In August 2010, doctors removed a tumor weighing nearly four stone --24 kilos, or 56 pounds--
from a woman in Argentina.
It had been growing inside her body for 18 months.
The huge growth was taken out of the 54-year-old's womb during a four-hour operation at a hospital
near the capital, Buenos Aires.
The unnamed patient was discharged weighing just over 16 and a half stone - five stone
7lbs less than when she was admitted.

Heaviest Weight Lifted With Tongue
Thomas Blackthorne has beaten his own Guinness Record by lifting a big steel-framed perspex
box full of pasta - with his tongue!

pasta.
The box weighed 12 kilos, 26 and a half pounds.

Most Spiders On A Body For 30 Seconds
Tom Buchanan, an Australian kid, claimed the world record for having the most spiders on
his body for 30 seconds.

your body swell up.

Most Milk Squirted Out of an Eye
In 2004, Turkish man Mehmet Yilmaz squirted milk from his eye into a coffee cup at a distance
of 2 meters and 70 centimetres, setting a bizarre new Guinness World Record.

nose into the eye before squirting it out across a table.

Most Maggots Moved by the Mouth in One Hour
Charlie Bell, a former steel worker, smashed the world record for "most amount of maggots

Largest Object Removed From Human Skull
In 1998, while he was at a friend's residence in Jacksonville, Florida, an unknown assailant
stabbed Michael Hill in the head and left, presuming that his target would lay down and
die like a normal human being.
Instead, Michael wandered down the street to another friend's house to get help with
an 8 inch survival knife still embedded in his grey matter.
The odds defying, ball of bronze Michael explained that he "...didn't feel the pain initially
and it was only when I was at the hospital that it hit me and I felt like my eyes were
bulging out."

Most Cockroaches Eaten
A retired ratcatcher and part-time entertainer, Ken Edwards of Glossop, Derbyshire, England,
ate 36 cockroaches in one minute on the set of "The Big Breakfast", on March 5, 2001.

3.
Most Cow Brains Eaten
Famous Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi held the world record of hot dog eating for
nearly six years, and holds several other eating records, while ranking third in the
world for competitive eating.

he holds has to do with cow brains: he ate 17.7 pounds of it in 15 minutes.
